Anderson can hardly breathe through his congestion, but he’ll still go belly up for rubs. Only six weeks old, you can tell he’s feeling this awful but he still wants to be loved on.

Yesterday, we found him in the corner of a Bronx school playground. He was just a tiny life struggling while kids played nearby and nobody cared. Our schools already struggle to get the resources their students need. And there he was, overlooked in a place that’s overlooked too. This is why we’re committed to Bronx cats. They deserve someone who keeps showing up, and we will.

We honestly knew he would die out there very soon. He’s been to the vet, received fluids and supportive care, and started antibiotics. But he isn’t eating, he’s terribly congested, and we’re worried he may need to go back. His recovery is just beginning.

Anderson needs a foster. He’s in a crate because we don’t have a room where he can recover. We got him out of that corner, but he deserves better. If he’s this sweet while he’s so sick, imagine all the love he’ll give when he feels better.

Please donate toward his first vet visit and the care still ahead. If you have room, please help him and DM us to foster. Please share, too. We’ve got our boy now. Help us get him through this.

Meet Goober (but you can call her Gooby if you’re cool like that) 🐾

At 1 year and 5 months old, this gorgeous tabby girl is at the perfect age—no longer a tiny kitten, but packed with youthful energy and curiosity! She is a chirpy explorer who is always on a mission to map out the world on her own terms. When she’s not charting new territory, she’s showing affection by giving you sweet little licks while you pet her. 👅

Quick Facts:
🐾 Handle with Care: Totally cool with being picked up and having her front paws touched. Her back paws? They have strong opinions, but she can easily be bribed with treats! 🍗
🐱 Social Status: Would love a feline partner-in-crime to join her adventures, but she’s just as happy ruling the roost solo.
🩺 Health Checklist: She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and SNAP tested negative (FIV/FeLV negative)!

Looking for a quirky, healthy, and independent explorer to liven up your home? Goober is ready for her next big adventure with you! 🗺️✨

A group of cats was found abandoned in a cardboard box at a park in the Bronx. Their location was shared on social media, but by the time a rescuer arrived to help, the cats were gone.

We’re hoping someone brought them to safety. They were left incredibly vulnerable, and we’re anxious to know what happened to them.

If you took them in or know who did, please send us a DM. Or share this so we can reach whoever may have helped.

We just want to know they’re safe.

ROAD TRIP!! 🚗🚦🚗🚦 DRIVERS NEEDED ASAP!!
We have a great opportunity to pick up a whole lot of dry cat food for our colony cats in The Bronx. These cats very much need it, especially with winter coming.
The trip is from Newington, CT with a couple of dropoffs in the Bronx.
As you can see, it's a whole lotta food, so an SUV would be in order, and some strong arms that will be able to load these 30lb packages into the vehicle.
The schedule for pickup is thus:
Tuesday 10/6: 8am-5pm
Wednesday 10/7: 10am-4pm
Thursday 10/8: 8am-10am

Of course, we will reimburse for gas, and there's a $150 stipend. Leave a comment below; we hope to hear from you right soon ❤️❤️❤️

Update on Eden!

First, thank you for all your incredible support. It meant that Eden lived. Donations speak LOUD. It’s action in motion.

And folks Eden is a BOY not a girl. To refresh your recollection Eden was rescued from the Hunts Point section of the Bronx yesterday (10/4/26). As you can see his right leg is paralyzed-his left leg is hanging on-he drags himself to get out of harms way, to eat, and to do anything! We rescued him and raced him to the Animal Medical Center.

After a six hour wait at the hospital here’s what we know. Eden’s leg is not broken. Likely what has happened is some kind of neurological trauma that caused him to collapse and become non ambulatory. He is not urinating on his own so he needs to be manually expressed. What we learned from his feeder is that he was walking and running around just fine until two days ago. Certainly such a friendly cat does not deserve to be on the street and this is one of the reasons why. Something happened to Eden and he would not have made it out on the unforgiving streets. Death was around the corner.

Eden is such a sweet grateful kitten-we are so proud of him. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him. He will need neurological follow-up to determine the cause of his paralysis. He is FelV/FIv negative, thank goodness.

We don’t know about you but this is the kind of story that makes you feel sooo good. Because Eden will have a happy ending. He will be placed with an expert in manual expression and with someone who wants him. He will live out a good life far from the parade of horribles that could have swallowed him at anytime.

Please continue your donations so we can make goal and keep hop alive and well!

We are united. And together we stand very tall! Thank you!

Adoption applications are officially OPEN and being accepted for the Daria Dynasty! 👑🐾

Swipe through for the ultimate exclusive look into the most iconic rescue family in NYC! 🎬 This incredible little crew was saved after Momma Daria gave birth right on the hard pavement of the busy Grand Concourse in the Bronx.

Today, they are safe, healthy and thriving. Here is the official rundown on this thriving family:

💙MOMMA DARIA (The Heart of the Family — 1 Year Old): This resilient young queen survived the harsh Bronx streets to protect her babies. Once terrified, she has completely transformed into a gentle sweetheart who loves chin scratches and proudly watches over her kingdom. 🎀

🗺️TRENT (The Explorer — 2 Months Old): The resident rebel and chief adventure officer! He was the very first kitten to figure out how to scale the walls of the nesting area—usually on a highly calculated mission to track down Momma for extra snacks. 🍼

🧸 KEVIN (The Cuddle Bug — 2 Months Old): Don’t let his jock name fool you, this boy is a professional snuggle champion. He loves to casually wobble around, sit straight up to observe the room, and curl up as tightly as possible next to his siblings ✨

Whether you’re looking to adopt a dynamic kitten duo or give beautiful Momma Daria the royal, pampered life she deserves, this family is ready for you! 🏡✨

Introducing Eden, a beautiful long haired kitten rescued from the Hunts Point section of the Bronx just a few hours ago. Shes paralyzed and gravely injured. We need your help.

We were tagged on a post about this kitten that is paralyzed from the back. Nobody picked her up-and in a city with millions of people, the reckless disregard for suffering could have cost Eden her life. But Little Wanderers stepped in.

We are at the emergency room waiting for the critical care doctors to examine and determine what can be done to save her. She’s getting X-rays and diagnostics while we write this. We don’t want to say “no” because of lack of funds. And her prognosis could be good..we don’t know yet. Please contribute.

Today, October 4 is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, and it’s celebrated because Francis became one of Christianity’s most beloved figures for his extraordinary love of animals, nature, simplicity, and people who were poor or marginalized. Many churches today held a Blessing of the Animals. People brought their dogs, cats, birds, horses, and other beloved companions to be blessed in Francis’s honor. Eden couldn’t make the blessing today because she is gravely injured. Let’s see to it that she makes it through this so she can have a proper blessing and live the rest of her life without pain and suffering.

We will bring you regular updates. For now Eden is exactly where she needs to be, in the best animal hospital in NYC. And with your support, there is a silver lining to this cloud.

✨Meet Idaho! ✨

This sweet 11-month-old young mama did an amazing job raising her kittens, and now she’s ready for her own next chapter: being someone’s spoiled kitty. She may have been a mom, but she’s still a baby herself and deserves a home where she is finally the one getting all the love.💗

Idaho is learning that people are safe and that pets, cuddles, and attention are pretty wonderful. Once she bonds with you, her sweet personality truly shines. She’s also quite the food connoisseur, so a tasty snack is definitely the quickest way to her heart! 🐟

Idaho is looking for a loving foster or forever home that will give her the time she needs to fully settle in. She’s already proven what a wonderful soul she is, and now she’s ready to be cherished just for being Idaho. 🐾✨

⚠️ Before you swipe: the photos get more graphic as you go. They show a kitten’s severe open wounds and are very hard to look at.

Billie, our newest rescue, is just four weeks old, and his little leg is so badly infected that it has to be amputated. He was found at a warehouse. God knows how he got there. He already smelled like rot when he came to us.

He had a gaping wounds on his leg and one under his armpit with maggots. X-rays show the infection has reached his bone. There’s no time to waste.

Even drawing blood to prepare him for surgery was risky because he’s so tiny. His immune system isn’t fully developed yet, making this infection super dangerous and life-threatening. Surgery comes with risks, too. It’s scary knowing that even the things he needs to save him could be too much for his little body.

We’re drained, and the medical bills keep coming. But we couldn’t say no to him and sleep at night knowing how badly he needed help.

So many of you donated over the last couple of days, and here we are asking again. We don’t take your help for granted. Thank you because there’s just no way we could take in kittens like Billie without you.

Please help us cover Billie’s surgery. If you can donate, anything helps. If you can’t, please share his post with someone who might be able to help.

He’s only been alive a month, and that little life has been nothing but suffering. We promised him to doing everything we can to get him through this. God willing he will finally know life without pain. With your help, we can give him exactly that.

WINTER IS COMING!! 🧊🧊❄️❄️FOSTER OR ADOPTER 🚨VERY MUCH NEEDED for Lanier and Faroe!🚨
These two sage ladies have been living in this industrial garage in the South Bronx for at least 13-15 years; now they're ready to retire.
Last winter our friend Max here rescued "the yellow cat" (some of you might remember hefty "Patton from M'nhattan") from this very spot because Patton was nearly frozen to death. He was rescued just in time.
The reality is that these two ladies won't survive another winter here either. They've paid their dues for a long, long time. Instead, now they're ready for their Golden Days- which means being safe, and warm.
Please open your heart and home to dear Lanier and Faroe.
They will be completely vetted and as they both say, "we clean up good!"
Winter is coming- please help!
They can be adopted anywhere in the U.S., we will transport- so anyone interested please let us know in the comments below!
